I'm outside of lockhart tx, we've had 40 mile winds and around 13 inches of rain as of 6:30. It sounds like the rain will continue for the next couple days. I made it home about an hour ago.......I won't be able to get out for a couple days i'm sure. Not sure how I got down the driveway!

Watching the news tonight it appears things are going to be rough for a while.

It will take weeks before the water drains from those lowlands.

Just as expected the Texans are pitching in to help each other until full scale relief arrives. They probably will even after it arrives.

And just as we expected there are some acting like a deer in the headlights. They never expected "this"!

One thing that I noticed that I never thought I would see again. A whole news broadcast where the president was not slammed every other sentence, no purposefully embarrassing questions were asked of the politicians in charge and the attitude was as positive as possible. Very encouraging.

This is one of those things that happens that makes me wish I could go down there and help, but I would probably be more problem than help. I doubt that my 12 foot john boat and 50 year old motor would be much use to them.

Texans are their own relief. Well be through with the crisis and back to normal before "help" arrives from the Feds. Our entire street, save one or two, was out today cleaning up the whole thing. Then we had BBQed chicken.
We've got a few more houses to get to tomorrow, and then we're done.

Houston could take a while. To bad the storm didn't go north to Austin.

Well done....we are pulling for y'all.
I was comforting to see dogs were being included in the rescue efforts.

If we are to have another contest in…our national existence I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism & intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition & ignorance on the other…
